So far the right can be given (and taken) by admins. Some sort of  
"super-autoconfirmed" status was active for a while but we (don't ask me 
who exactly) asked to inactivate that due to numerous complaints because 
the limitation was rather low (30 edits + 30 days + some minor stuff 
AFAIR). At the moment (the more or less) consensus is 200 edits (in main 
space) and 2 month, that are all users who have the right to vote in 
RFAs, so it is at least easy to check cause we have s script for that. 
But that limit might change since we have a lot of discussion going on 
about that on numerous pages and it is really hard to get an overview. I 
think it is almost impossible to go more into detail without spreading 
rumors. The 200/2 limit is what admins use at the moment so it might be 
safe to say that this would be the upper limit.

Maybe it would be a good idea to give it and the German community some 
time (at least a week or two) and see how things work, please be 
patient. Flagged revs won't chance the wiki world instantaneously ;-)

Regards,
Sven
